I had a wonderful long weekend in Milwaukee, and a great Anti-Spyware Coalition meeting in Chicago. I’ll blog more about the weekend in Milwaukee tomorrow when I’m not exhausted. 
Today brought EXCITING news!!! Baby Boy _____ Fox M. was born today! Mamamelissa had a long labor, arriving at the hospital at 7 pm yesterday, beginning to actively push at 5 am, and finally giving birth to a great big boy (8 lbs 15.5 oz) at 9:15 this morning.
Welcome to the world, little one! Mamamindy sounded mildly delirious and very happy when I talked to her tonight. And of course, we all can’t wait to learn your first name, including your tired mommies.
I have hit the point in the pregnancy where people can tell, just by a cursory look at me. The nice lady at the coffee shop in the hotel gave me a free breakfast this morning and tells me that I’m having a boy. And at the meeting, my former boss immediately asked "Is there news?" upon seeing me. Lil Smudge, your arrival is eagerly awaited, although as Jules put it, "in a good hour." (He put it that way in Hebrew, and of course, I can’t remember how it goes in Hebrew. But the point was clear — you’re eagerly awaited once you’re grown enough to arrive healthy.)
And now, the good hour has arrived for bed.
